Official beta of fennec! - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Here it is!
The most wanted mobile web browser beta is out.
Its so fresh that i've just tested it a minute ago, qnd now it"s urs
It's still buggy, but less..
FENNEC OFFICIAL BETA
here

Thanks!! Any other hosts, lol

Better yet, get it from Mozilla directly:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/

I'm guessing it's VGA only?

In case both the first mirror AND the mozilla ftp go down, here it is on 6 other hosts:
http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=bw0arxmwqc

i installed on my omnia and no workie. I click on the Icon and nothing Is it resolution specific?

Wow... Great find guys... I didn't think we'd have a beta release for about a week yet!!
I am hazarding a guess at it being VGA only as the beta was marketed for the Touch Pro...

Drool! I am going right now!

After having a quick fiddle with it...
I can confirm there is no SIP!!!
That must be the reason for using the Touch Pro to release the BETA on.
Anything without a hardware keyboard has no way to type inside Fennec that I can see at first glance. If someone finds a way to - Please correct me.
It runs rather sluggishly on my Diamond also. Seems a bit unoptimized?? Either that or it wants the extra RAM the TP has...?

It is VGA only.

I have one word to describe this build: Ouch.
They have a LONG way to go before they have a functional browser. This is awfully slow and I'm on a fairly well optimized Touch Pro. I don't even want to think about the start up times on a stock Fuze.

it leaked this morning and was reported as being awful...and it is... it's unusable like the alpha was
http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1903

Yeah this definitely needs work.

Good for Diamond?
I just drooled a little on the keyboard.
Uuu imagine sync with desktop Firefox.

Took about 30secs to startup on my Touch Pro, and still none webpage worked.. always getting Page Load Error screen.. using 3G network, never tried using Wifi..

Hasn't this beta been out a while?
***EDIT***
Ok. Found the new build and all I got to say it ugh. 25 MB? Yikes! More work is definitely needed.

Absolutely terrible. Took forever to load and no page would load, not even Gmail, lol. This is pre-alpha really.

Nah Sergio... Sucks for Diamond - We have no hardware keyboard... Presumably why the beta was being aimed at the Touch Pro.. There is no SIP input in the current version...

Too buggy...not enough features and definitlely not worth 14.99 considering there are 'free' solution here that are much more feature packed...sorry ...try again go back to the drawing board.
too much memory usage and no way to really close it without soft reset.
bug, bugs, bugsssss
Afther 20 minutes of configuring.....bug
Again 15 minutes of configuring.........again a bug
They want have me tree times....for 14.99$....this is not worth it.
Its just a rip off of htc cube. Im surprise this company is getting away with selling this since it is so close to htc's cube. Besides Between Byka's and slithers cubes. we are all good.
Not many touch flo solutions for us TyTN Hermes users though... I've been up and down this board today and yesterday tring to get something that works and is easy... TouchFLO alpha 4 and real cube isnt bad but it has to run with the flash lite program, and swiching between scrolling and launching with touch flow is rather annoying... very small icon to tap to switch, and its right next to my connection profile.
If someone can show me an easier way to get something similar to this on a Hermes I'd be glad to try. Because yes this version does suck...
My 8125 worked perfect with TNT's touch flow rom and cube... I miss that.

um seems you haven't tried the non-alpha release ..here lemme point you in the right direction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143 and try byka's cube or the solution from the whoneedsaniphone folks
I will try that procedure again with 1.3 hotfix... IIRC i already had that combination installed and it just didnt seem to work right...

Agree with ljinsane, after twenty mins of testing the app, I ran touch flo and it broke the app., exception error and even after a SR and touch flo not running it would not start again.
also found it very slow, much prefer PocketCm and Byka's Cube.
I rather use my rom...

It works great, you can edit your links on Touchcommander, and i linked it to FTouchFlo so when i use DownUp it starts Touchcommander, ist just like having the real thing.....
is it still have a lot of bugs or no?? is it same application with slither have? the ftuchflo?
it really sux...it looks ugly...maybe its better with this nice animations, but right now its only 0815...
This Touch Commander app is lame.. but I'm sure it will get better with revisions. I personally like the open and close transitions from and to the today screen, something you can't achieve with Flash Cube imitations.
New version Touch Commander 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375111
I havent figured out a fix but this version TC3 seems to interfere with Ultimate Launcher's gestures unlike the previous version of TouchCommander!
Anyone have a fix?
MM
HELP!!!
I purchased the 3.0 and it has soooooo many bugs and things I didn't wan that just sucked the life out of my device like battery indicator and htc home screen ect.....then I downloaded the new 3.1 which said it fixed the bugs I had complained about but didnt and in fact made my device crash so I had to hard reset. How I was suggested by their customer support to download an ealier version so I downloaded 2.0. It is exactly what I wanted and I am so happy but now I cannot register it. My registration code doesn't work for the 2.0.
My question to all of you on here is if anyone is interested in switching registration codes???? I will give you this code for 3.0 which also works for 3.1 if you give me your code for 2.0. I have contacted their support asking them for one with no response. I need this ASAP!!! Thanks and just shoot me a message if your interested!!!

Opera of TOUCH HD build 2649 on X1

Hi all,
i tried to install the Opera rip from the Touch HD which was posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2842296&postcount=1523
first thing to say is it is amazing fast compared to our build in the X1 and it is wqorking really good, but there is one really big problem which makes it useless
If you wanna key in an url with the Hardware keyboard, then after starting after some seconds the fild disapears , with the software keyboard this problem doesnt happen.
I really hope that sony comes soon with an update, or an developer can fix it on this build haha

yes if you longer dont write something but with the HTC build you can write and it will go away anyway so this is an different problem
the X1 version of opera is said to be optimized for the X1 and running really fast (@pocketnow.com Review Youtube Video)
so why install the Touch HD version ?
the TouchHD build is much faster then the built in version, also it has an better xperience in my eyes when it comes to zooming and other things
its still version 9.5, just another build...cant make much difference
did you try it with the same websites, same connection speed etc ?
believe me it is a lot faster on same webpages with same connection (WLAN)
the page rendering is faster, how it displays the page is better, specially on zooming, loadtime is better.
Believe it, i tested it, but have to hardreset to get it away again and to get the originla opera for x1 again.
regards cHarOn
alright, but with that bug you mentioned its not really worth changing
yes agree , its not worth, thats why i posted it , to warn the users, or maybe to see some developers to have an solution for that , maybe i should try an Touch Pro build also, but that is only for VGA and i dont know what happens then
I'm using 2723 and it's much faster than the default one. It loads pages faster, plus it scrolls much much faster, the flick scroll can keep up with your flicks.
The onlt thing is it can't use the default startpage and uses it's own.
I've been trying loads of builds, but I think this is the latest from the Opera site.
works there also the hardware keyboard as it should, i mean if you key in an long webadress will it stay viewable?
ok tested the last beta and you are right, it runs also really fast, same as the Touch HD Build and the good thing with the beta is , it doesnt overwrite the SE Build, it makes an extra installation called Opera Beta, so you can easy remove it again if you dont like it, or let it installed and you can use both
where to you get that build ? Just the latest version from the opera website ?
What about Skyfire ? I heard that is the best browser for WinMo

SkyFire won't even run in VGA let alone WVGA
What build is the buildin one (since I don't have my X1 "yet")? I remember there are 2 major version for Opera. The build 2xxx version has this keyboard timeout issue while the 19xx version will not on my Att Tilt
2141 is the build which is installed

But it is actually the same problem,it dissapears while i write.
trying out the new beta (9.51) and there the google-field works ok,it,s also faster and more polished in zoom and so on higly recommended.
hmm thats strange, that doesnt happen on mine, it only happens if i stop writing and wait some seconds, but on the HTC build it happens after writing 3 letters and i am fast
so i got 951b2.cab from the website, is that the build you refer to ?
will get my X1 today hopefully

New Version of Skyfire

Thanks
Downloading and testing out now.
Sweet. Going to try it now.
What are the improvements?
it says checking flight mode.
then when i untick the proxy,
it says locating. either ways its not working why?
Just tried it and with this version I could not get any audio on Last.FM, anyone else got an audio bug? I'll soft reset and try playing with it a bit more.

So, if there is any never version, do upload here again

yeah I contact them regarding the LG Incite (same res as Omnia) and they sent me a canned response indicating that 240X400 is not supported. It would have been nice if they at least said something about possible future support. At least Opera works.
anyone know how to get scrolling working with this? I have ftouchsl installed on my trinity and scrolling works great with opera but doesnt work at all with skyfire.... it doesn't support scrolling?
It supports native scrolling, maybe you should add skyfire to Ftouchflo exceptions (there may be a conflict).

Opera Mobile 9.5 build 15233 QVGA from Omnia

New opera build extracted from latest (30/12/2008) Omnia ROM:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH67LC7D
It has the same features (zoom style, scroll window, etc) than previus builds from Omnia ROMs
Enjoy
very nice, i have always considered omnia opera builds some of the best.
any chance you have a link for the rom?
In the line of the 1957 ? Great i'm gonna test it
Played a bit with this version, Flashlite 3 worked after reinstall on memory (i had Opera on SD and this one is on memory)
I can't tell if it is much faster than the build 1957, but it scrolls fast, the zoom is smooth and there is no landscape issues with my kaiser when using the hardware keyboard. I also noticed that it lags less than previous build when scrolling/zooming with flash stuff on the page.
I love it
Darn, didn't fix two of my issues - Stars don't show up on the Google Reader Iphone version (google.com/reader/i) and my phone is still identified as a mobile device for ESPN.com. The mobile version loads automatically and I cannot get the regular version to load, even though in my settings I have it set to identify itself as a desktop computer.
Anyone else run into these issues?
Thanks!
Anyone got a mirror? I can't download this thing from megaupload, very weird!
Just installed this version and now everytime i start my phone is just insists on loading up opera on its own, and if i close it, it will just fire it back up every minute
very annoying!

I tried installing this to my sister's touch and it was saying installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions
This Opera version is awesome...
FAST, cool interface... Flash 3 work now...
Zoom bar in right side... no keyboard problem...
wow ! i think one of better Opera build tested for me...
THX for this gift ! happy new year !
Any way to get a SD version please?
I am using the 2520 version from the omnia that is the two file upgrade from the 1957 version. The omnia versions have always been the best.
Thanks
Can one of you guys please try https://secure.k12planet.com in this build. Im still on build 2128 because every build after this one results in the site saying that the browser is incompatible. I need this site to work for school. Thanks.
Edit: If it works, the page will show a login screen. Wait until the page stops loading because on the Opera builds where it doesn't work, it briefly shows the login screen before quickly changing to the browser incompatibility page.
^^^vidman...that site loaded for me on 2520
Hi can any one tell me how to get the zoom slider on this version thanx.

Guys, calm down...
It isn't a zoom slider like in the other opera versions. There isn't a "zoom" button. This one...tap on the right side of the screen, and slide finger. If you wait too long you get the menu. You will see a vertical zoom bar popup. Much better IMHO since it doesn't have the zoom button covering up the screen.
hello! anyone have problem that when backlight goes off it starts to blink? like one second backlight on and other off? anyidea how fix that?
VGA skin is attached. I did it real quick, there might be a few glitches, I used the basic diamond skin, but this one has all features of the omnia version. so give it a shot. it is better then nothing at least. and it works great on the touch pro.

Opera Mobile 10beta is OUT!!!

It's out guys!

quite snappy indeed, too bad the hardware keyboard doesn't work with it.
do we need to tweak it like we tweaked 9.7?

The whole Opera doesn't work!
I just see a boot screen and than nothing happens!
I reseted the device, still nothing.
Installed again after uninstall and reset.
Nothing! WTF?!
So is this better than 9.5 (or 9.7)? Because it looks like Opera Mini... Can't try it now, maybe in a few hours...
I liked better the fullscreen browsing of the older versions and that you had the taskbar visible when you pressed the lower button to reveal the other controls...
still doesn't support flash
Works perfect on my X1i (incl. HW keyboard, which also works). Extremely fast browser. Does not have, or at least I did not find, the odd Opera 9.7 beta way of rendering some pages. Again 100 out of 100 score on Acid3 test (like Opera 9.7 beta).
I've tested some sites, and both the speed and the rendering quality are perfect.
The tab switching is done very nice too.
It does lack Flash support.
In contrast to Opera Mobile 9.7 beta, it does size the text width to fit to my X1's screen.
All in all, Opera Mobile 10 is a very nice browser, and maybe one of the fastest I've ever worked with (comparing to real browsers, not like Skyfire or Opera Mini).
I really want to test and see the browser but it doesn't work here!!!!
This is crazy!
SE X1. No faults, device working 100%.
Can anybody confirm that Opera 9.7 and 10 work together on the device or one of them has to be uninstalled??
Every app I installed has no problems here, are you aware of any possible conflicts on the device??
D - you sure you downloaded the windows mobile version? I think your link takes you to a different version.
I got it working no problem - it basically looks exactly like mini 5.0 so far...

Opera_Mobile_10_WM_Beta_1.cab
so no doubts right?!
Guys ... Great news I heard today... Tomorrow is the day when Flash 10.1 for WinMo Beta is going to be released!!! So all our troubles with opera and flash should be resolved
Thats great news VelikiMeshtar. Didnt know that, thanks for sharing.
About the opera 10 beta 1. I think its more a replacement for the opera 5 mini. Because it looks like opera mini 5 and like opera mini 5, I cant view some pages which I could see in opera 9.7 beta. And did I noticed right that there is still no synchronization for bookmarks or did I miss something? It would be pitty if I'm right.
For me, I will still use Opera 9.7 for websites with difficult scripts or something like that and I will replace Opera mini 5 with Opera 10. Nice work from Opera anyway. They are still the first choise for me.
Installed Opera Mobile 10. Works great! I find it way better than Opera Mobile 9.5 and 9.7. I'm happy.
Still nothing as good as Opera Mini 4.2
